The Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia to the Federal Republic of Germany Dr. Snežana Janković, gave an interview to "Rozhlad", a cultural magazine of Lusatian Serbs from Bautzen, which was published in the latest edition of this Magazine. In the interview, she pointed out that the Serbs are culturally very close and historically connected to the Lusatian Serbs, but that most of our citizens have not had the opportunity to get to know the culture of the Lusatian Serbs in more detail.

Bearing in mind significant cultural closeness, which is also reflected in the language, customs and costumes, Ambassador Janković pointed out that it would be good for both sides to make a serious effort to get to know each other better, among other things, through the cooperation of our cultural and educational institutions. The room for cooperation exists in numerous areas, from education, science and culture to the economy, pointing out that it is especially important to focus on cultural cooperation, which gives us the opportunity to get to know each other better.

Ambassador Snežana Janković also reflected on her visit to Lower Lusatia in May this year, evaluating it as very successful. She emphasized that the visit was only the first step towards establishing cooperation with the Lusatian Serbs and expressed her hope that she would have the opportunity to visit other regions where Lusatian Serbs live and that from those contacts a mutually beneficial, enriching cooperation between two close peoples will develop.
